IFPC Increment 2 - Block 1
Abstract
The Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) will provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats. The IFPC Inc 2 system consists of a launcher and interceptor integrated with the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) open systems architecture, IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS), and the Sentinel sensor to support the Threshold CM and UAS defeat mission. The Objective counter-RAM mission employs both alternative kinetic and non-kinetic defeat solutions. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2018, the Army evaluated alternative strategies to address an Army interim CM defense (CMD) capability at critical strategic fixed site locations while continuing the development of an IFPC capability. On 5 December 2019, the Army signed a contract with the Israeli Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) for two Interim CMD (Iron Dome) Batteries. For each of the interim capability's Iron Dome Batteries, the Army intends to employ a configuration that matches the Israeli Firing Unit. The IFPC Inc 2 program will conduct Iron Dome experimentation to determine the ability of the two standalone interim CMD Iron Dome Batteries to interoperate with the US Army's Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Architecture including the Army's IBCS command and control (C2) network. Concurrently with the Interim CMD assessment, the Army will develop a launcher and interceptor solution that is integrated with the IBCS and the Sentinel sensor. The Army's decision for the IFPC Inc 2 capability will decide between an U.S. industry-based CMD launcher/interceptor and a componentized Iron Dome launcher/TAMIR-class interceptor. The Army will utilize a tailored acquisition approach to evaluate new capability and provide residual operational capability in FY 2023 and then transition into procurement and field by FY 2025. FY 2021 Base dollars in the amount of $235.770 million are designated for the development and integration of the IFPC Inc 2 system.
